- Emma Lee Potter, Daily Mirror
See what happens in this very funny story with adorable characters and plenty of food for thought […] Full of gorgeous pictures it is a great bridge from picture book to novel, but enjoyable for all abilities. I love it!
- Debbie Williams, Primary Times
Elys Dolan triumphs again, this time in the form of Rex, an out-of-time dinosaur […] Crazy, thoughtful comedy reigns. Elys’ writing is brilliantly funny, full of absurd situations and Rex is a captivating character; oh! there’s a super subplot too. The story also has subtle messages about tolerance, letting people live how they wish, and the vital importance of thinking for yourself. Full of giggle worthy details, the subtly coloured cartoon style illustrations are hilarious and there are occasional plans, maps and speech bubbles to keep readers engaged, further adding to the humour. KS2 readers will devour this.
- Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub
Elys Dolan deals with a wide range of themes with humour and excitement in this illustrated story. Besides encouraging children to think about tolerance and acceptance, allowing everyone to be themselves, the story also encompasses friendship, family and fake news. An appealing, fun package which should attract young readers, this could be used as a class read aloud and to encourage reading for pleasure.
